Use a hex editor to inspect the first 100 bytes of the file. If it doesn't start with "SQLite format 3" it's not a SQLite3 database. Telling us what's in that first 100 bytes (in a machine-readable unambiguous format) might be a good idea. E.g. if you have Python, do: print repr(open('fubar.db', 'rb').read(100)) Cheers, John _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
